Everything was so great! Great communication, great treatment on every aspect. Great judges!
The festival was there every step of the way, extremely communicative, polite and highly professional.
They awarded our movie with Best Lgbt Short Film and also recognised the good work was put into our original score and editing, awarding us furthermore with Best Original Score and Special Mention Editing. I want to mention here that we didn't submit our movie to participate in the two latter categories. A fact that shows the high level of the festivals standards toward all filmmakers and the respect to artistic expression!
Ficocc really made us feel so welcome and that our work matters!
We could not be more thankful!
We totally recommend your participation to this 9th Best Positive Reviewed Festival!
Happy to be a part of Ficocc! See you in the future again!
